I dunno the solution...but I think we are in similiar boats...
I have a toshiba - (it has a ethernet port and modem) - I normally connect through DSL but once or twice a week I was going to my buddy's house and connecting via cable modem.
Shortly after my network card stop detecting my DSL line - but it still was able to find the cable modem for 6 weeks. Now it doesn't detect either. While trying to diagnose the problem I did run across something that might be causing the problem... My comptuer is trying to say tht there are two network cards...and it doesn't know which one to talk to ...
I finally gave up and sent the fucker back to Toshiba...but I'm gonna be housebound for a week to 10 days.
